This hitch is on the inside of the boom of my boat. I know some basic
sailing knots, and I tried find this in a book of knots, but I don't
recognize this one. Can someone identify it?

The 2 links are to photos showing both the front and back sides of the
hitch, still tied up inside the boom.

TIA for any assistance.


Its a bowline, but not in the standard form. I'm too lazy to fetch my
copy of Ashley to find the name of this variant.
